Hahahaha!!! I cracked up when I read your take on the down side. That is just what I did when I got my iPod touch. I just had to personalise everything. Can’t possibly have a tedious boring colour scheme lol :D And I spent hours researching apps, checking out reviews to see what features they all had and who liked what app better, then downloading them to have a play. And then it was onto organising the music and making sure I had all the album artwork so it would look pretty when I was playing music. And then the books…with their cover art!! Good grief!!!! What a time waster it was initially. Eventually I got totally overloaded and barely touched it except to use it for a few basics. Now I am at a happy medium. I discovered which apps were my favourites and dumped the rest, and every now and then I drag it out to play with, but I don’t seem to find myself being sucked into a deep dark hole like I do on the computer (when I happen to look up at the clock and find hours have passed when I have gone online to “quickly” check something out). I use it for what I wanted to use it for and I have found it really helpful.
